Romesburg, who emphasized that he didn't want to sound critical of the governor, said Leavitt's current higher education hudpfit, is thp worst he had sp.fn Gov. Mike Leavitt in his ten years at UVSC. The only increase came from the addition of a vocational center in Southern Utah which previously had been on the public education budget. The money allotted to higher education for solving the Y2K problem was pointed out by Romesburg as being a weakness in the budget. After Utah's higher education institutions asked for money to counter the Y2K problem. Leavitt agreed to have his Y2K advisor David Moon to take a closer look, Romesburg said. After taking a look at the recommendation made by higher education, Moon made his own recommendation which was slightly less. Romesburg said Leavitt cut Moon's proposal in half and didn't include any money for software upgrades. "Here's the advocate of the Internet c-univcrsity ana nes not giving to com-p u t e r upgrades," Romesburg said. Paul Sybrowsky, chairman of the board of trustees, said if not enough money and equipment are put towards resolving the Y2K problem the school will be in "utter chaos."

She felt that he would be removed from office becauce "it's not so much the fact that he committed a sexual crime, but it's the fact that he lied about it, and if he's going to lie in front of a grand jury under oath then he's not going to chink twice about lying about other things in front of anyone." f J ZJ L liJSIDE Life!
